Paul Governali of Columbia, Lou Bufalino of Cornell, Bill MacCoy and Roy Talcott, both of Princeton, were the four best players in the Eastern Intercollegiate Baseball League during the 1942 season, according to the seven coaches of the teams in the circuit.

In the balloting for players for first and second-all-league teams, each of these four men received a perfect total of 14 votes, based on two for first choice and one for second. Governali and Bufalino were named to the outfield, while the two Princetonians were picked on the battery of the mythical nine. Talcott was an all-league pitcher in his sophomore year, Bufalino won the first base berth in 1941 and McCoy and Governali were on last season's second team.

Of the ten places on the first team-eight players and two pitchers-the champion Tigers were awarded three, Pennsylvania won two and the other five teams, Cornell, Columbia, Dartmouth, Harvard and Yale, each received one. The Nassau nine was likewise given three places on the second team, followed by Harvard with two.

In addition to Talcott, Yale's Ted Harrison was named to pitch on the first team. The infield consists of Pennsylvania's slugging first baseman, Art McQuillen, who is now playing pro ball; Captain-elect Bart Harvey, of Harvard, the league's leading base stealer, at second; Stan Zarod, Dartmouth third baseman and the only sophomore to make the first team; and Bob Perins, rangy Princetonian, rounding out the inner defense at short.

Walt Wiesmiller, a fast man on the bases and clean-up hitter for Dr. Walter Carliss' Pennsylvania nine, completes the outfield with Governali and Bufalino. The team would have a combined batting average of .320, while Harrison compiled an earned run average of 1.68 and Talcott won nine of ten starts.

Princeton's young sophomore hurler, John Eide, was paired with Mort Waldstein of Harvard as the two pitchers chosen for the second team, giving the alternate aggregation a brace of south-paw hurlers. Stocky Lee Turner, Cornell catcher, was named to the backstop position.

Murph McCarthy, Princeton first baseman who went through the season without making an error would play in the infield of this team, with Clem Yukuavich of Columbia at second; George Hain of Penn at third and Ronnie Stillman of Cornell at short. Hain also received enough votes for the latter position to tie with Stillman, having alternated between the two spots during the season. Baldwin of Princeton, Burns of Dartmouth and Clay of Harvard won the outfield berths
